Pictures of tennis rivals Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal crying after combining for Team Europe in a doubles match in London went viral on social media.
Tearful tennis star ends his remarkable career with an agonising doubles defeat alongside long-time rival Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup in London.
The three-day Laver Cup competition pits six of the best players from Team Europe against six leading players from Team World.
The former world number one, who will be 41 in August, has not played since July last year, when he was knocked out of Wimbledon in the quarter-finals against Hubert Hurkacz.
Federer, 20-time Grand Slam winner, dispatched Nick Kyrgios 6-2, 6-3 to earn two points while Alexander Zverev beat John Isner 3-6, 7-6 (8/6), 10-7 (10-point tie-break) to extend the European lead to 7-5.
